In the next month, Hernandez will only be allowed to leave his cell to shower (three times a week), for an hour of recreation each day, and for meetings with his lawyer. His meals will be delivered to his cell.

The altercation in prison took place on Tuesday. A source told NECN that Hernandez was not in handcuffs at the time of the altercation, but the other inmate was. The source also said that Hernandez and the other inmate "had been taunting each other in the days leading up to the altercation."

Sheriff Thomas Hodgson is trying to figure out how the altercation took place, he told NECN:

We're investigating it now to find out why two inmates would have been out at the same time in that unit.
